A New Demigod

Chapter Two

   (Leo's POV)

   I was tinkering with a little automaton of a bird, outside. I leaned against the side of the Big House and I finally put the last piece of the bird onto it. I smiled as I let it fly around and soar away, but then my smile faded as I remembered, Rocky use to like birds.

   I closed my eyes and slid down onto my butt. I put my forehead on my knees and kept thinking. I could never stopped thinking about what happened to Rocky. She was my best friend, and my twin sister. I wouldn't be able to believe if she died... Stop it, Leo! Just shut up! She's still alive!

   I hope she was alive, I really do. But my hope was fading everyday I think of her. I wish I did know what happened to her, I really do. I miss her everyday. Since Jason and I have been best friends, well, before he forgot everything. He's been listening to me ranting about Rocky.

   I snapped back to reality when Lightning Boy was hurrying toward me, an unconcious girl in his arms. I smirked at him, "Got your Juliet in your arms?" I regretted saying that when I saw his expression and looked at the girl. In his arms was a pretty girl, scars on her face and arms, and dark brown curly hair.

   Jason tried speaking but he couldn't. I took the girl in my arms and brushed her bangs out of her face. I starred at her pretty face then I realized it in a flash, "Rocky!!! Rocky!!! Wake up!!!" I realized right then that I was holding my unconcious twin.

Brain cannot compute
Brain cannot compute...

   I held her in my arms and got up. I raced over to the Infirmary as fast as I can with Jason follwing me.

   (Jason's POV)

   I ran behind Leo as he raced like lightning to the Infirmary. He nearly kicked the door open and went inside. I saw the healer that was on duty today, William Solace.

   Will jumped and looked at Leo, "Who's that?" Leo looked at him, freaking out as he layed Rocky on a cot. "Just heal her, please!" He was near tears and was almost begging. Will glanced at me then walked over to Rocky's side and checked her.

   Leo sat in a chair next to her cot and looked at her. Will took a sharp breath as he checked her sides. One side was bloody and cut open. I know I didn't do it. Leo looked and sat back down, shaking.

   Will put a healing hand on her side and I felt a pang of jealousy. I don't honestly know why. I don't even know her and I'm jealous... I saw her skin sew together and leave a scar. Will looked at Leo, "That's why she blacked out. Injury to her side." Leo nodded and held her hand, looking at her with a dull expression.

   I sat down on her other side as Will left us be. I looked at her and I looked at Leo, grief in his eyes. That's when she groaned and her eyes met mine, my heart thumping madly.
